Skins Sign O-Lineman Mike Williams

This could be a huge steal if his back is healthy.

Just like Erasmus James was a big steal after he came back ready to play of 2008.

If these guys are considered steals I would hate to be a cleptomanic.

Except we're not giving up any picks

Except if you believe Vinny then the signing of Williams impacted their draft strategy and was at least a partial reason for not drafting any linemen.

That seems to be the case.

Based on what I heard what Danny and Vinny on the radio yesterday, this signing will have no impact on how the Skins draft today. Vinny explained the front office's unyielding devotion to "the board." If I understood him correctly, if at any time today an o-lineman is the highest rated player on "the board" the Skins will draft him, regardless of need. People may not agree with that mentality, but at least it is a plan that they are sticking to.
It makes good sense to bring in the maximum number of players allowed to training camp/preseaon. People get injured, don't pan out, get cut, etc. etc. What is the harm in signing someone like Williams? Especially since the team gave up nothing to bring him in.
